If you ever wanted to wear the dress featured in one of your favorite movies, this book's for you! Sew Iconic, published by Thunder Bay Press and written by Liz Gregory, expertly details how a fantastic frock can go from the silver screen to your closet in a detailed step-by-step fashion, patterns included! Of course, no one will be surprised to hear that Peachy Deegan's favorite is the LBD (little black dress!) from Breakfast at Tiffany's!

It was one of the first books included in READ THIS:

and we also reviewed 5th Avenue 5am:

and we've even literally had Breakfast at Tiffany's:

Ten iconic movies and their corresponding dresses are featured and it is a well-rounded selection as well. From Kate Winslet's lace evening gown in Titanic to Jennifer Grey's pink mambo dress in Dirty Dancing, this book will set your creative juices flowing and spur you to create the dress of your dreams!

It also should be noted that the photography is terrific, from the original to the dress created by the book to mimic it. We love the total attention to detail as well-straight off they tell you how the book works (page 8) and even gives you background on each designer. Materials and technique are told as well as equipment you'll need. In the end, you'll have a whole new appreciation for all of your dresses as a result! Whom You Know recommends Sew Iconic! Read it, and do it, and you'll look iconic as well.

Peachy Deegan is a gem. She is wonderful to feature our Irish brands in 'Whom You Know'!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
